Blacklidge Emulsions, a leading asphalt products company, announced today the opening of its first distribution plant in the state of Texas. The plant is located in the city of Terrell, which is approximately 60 miles east of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area.

The Terrell plant will primarily distribute UltraTack™—Blacklidge’s specially formulated asphalt emulsion that yields a fast setting, non-tracking tack coat. UltraFuseⓇ—Blacklidge’s thick bond coating—is expected to be available at the Terrell plant in the near future. All products that come out of the Terrell plant are fully tested and certified by the Texas D.O.T.

The Terrell plant represents Blacklidge Emulsions’ commitment to current and future customers in Texas. “We at Blacklidge are very excited to expand our operations and products in Texas. With the Terrell plant, we’ve been able to put our flag in the ground and show Texas contractors, D.O.T. and municipalities that we are fully committed to helping them build safer, longer lasting roads,” said Matt Renick, Blacklidge’s Chief Operations Officer.
